We are honored and excited to bring this powerful book featuring 10 experts that are committed to helping you step forward in life and business with great purpose and impact. We want to support you in tapping into the wisdom we have discovered and believe will empower and support you on your journey.

Our vision is to have our experts share insights, tips and tools we have discovered to support you powerfully on your journey. We know that life is not a solo journey and by coming together our goal is to help you step further and more powerfully into your gifts, talents and abilities as leaders. Together, as we lift each other up, we are all able to grow, reach more people and have a greater impact than we do trying to do everything on our own.

In each chapter, our authors (all experts and influencers) will equip and empower you to more fully step forward. I believe this book is a living and interactive book that will speak wisdom, encouragement and power into your life. I want to invite you to pause, take a deep breath and be ready to receive these powerful chapters so they can ignite a fire in you, inspire courage in you and focus you to step fully into bringing forward the gift of who you are and all that you are called to be.

This book is broken into three sections to support you in moving forward with purpose and impact.

Section 1: Connect more deeply with you and your purpose.
Section 2: Move forward with purpose.
Section 3: Reflection for the journey.

Now it’s your turn. Are you going to lean in and learn from the insight and wisdom within this book? Will you let us walk beside you on your journey of life? We want to lift you up, support you, encourage and empower you to fully step forward and SHINE in all of your gifts and talents. Especially at such a time as this . . . the world needs more of you and ALL of you . . . be willing to lean in and say yes to you and bringing the gift of you forward.
